​Global Citizenship Education aims to empower learners to assume active roles to face and resolve global challenges and to become proactive contributors to a more peaceful, tolerant, inclusive and secure world. (UNESCO)
​

What is Global Citizenship?
  • It is a way of living that recognizes our world is an increasingly complex web of connections and interdependencies--one in which our choices and actions may have repercussions for people and communities locally, nationally or internationally.

A Global Citizen is someone who:
  • is aware of the wider world and has a sense of their own role as a world citizen
  • respects and values diversity
  • has an understanding of how the world works
  • is outraged by social injustice
  • participates in the community at a range of levels, from the local to the global
  • is willing to act to make the world a more equitable and sustainable place
  • takes responsibility for their actions.

A Rationale for Global Education
Picture
Global education is the term used internationally to describe a form of education which:
  • enables people to understand the links between their own lives and those of people throughout the world
  • increases understanding of the economic, cultural, political and environmental influences which shape our lives
  • develops the skills, attitudes and values which enable people to work together to bring about change and take control of their own lives
  • works towards achieving a more just and sustainable world in which power and resources are more equitably shared
  • (from UNESCO)
